Placid Chang'an

"The deceased died because his meridians were severed by a palm shock. The meridians were completely severed, and the blood qi surged up, so the seven orifices were bleeding. When you found out, the person had just passed his breath. Unfortunately, he died at a young age."

There were no forensics in the palace, and in the panic, only an old Chinese doctor was found, and he was dragged here to do the autopsy.

Su Cen nodded after listening, "It was done by a master."

Compared with the last time when he was scared out of his soul by a single skull, Huang Mian has made a lot of progress this time, but it is limited to not being scared and paralyzed to the ground, still repeating "this will happen like this" tremblingly in his mouth.

The official who went to the victims to find out the news came back and reported: "People in the vicinity said that they did not see anyone entering the forest, and they only saw that one person coming in from the beginning to the end."

"Meet by chance?" Su Cen frowned and thought, "Or was it a deliberate ambush?"

Su Cen looked up and asked, "How is it up there?"

Qu Ling'er poked her head out from the leaves, flew down, came to Su Cen's side and said, "The top is very clean, there are no clues left, it can throw a person into such a high tree, and it can even break a person with one palm." The meridian, this murderer's internal strength is unfathomable."

"The man died as soon as the front foot reached the back foot. The murderer has been lying in ambush by our side but has never made a move. Now he does not hesitate to expose his identity and kill a government servant who is escorting the official money. That is to say, these government servants must know something... or I know that face." Su Cen turned to look at Huang Mian, "Can those who escorted the official bank find other people?"

Huang Mian pressed the center of his eyebrows, and looked away from the corpse, "I can't find anyone else, those who resigned were resigned, and those who were transferred were transferred. I took a lot of effort to find this one from a small frontier town. "

Su Cen frowned. The Yacha was killed because he posed a threat to the person who received the official money. This is in line with what Huang Mian said, that is to say, the Ministry of Households did transfer the money, and the money did arrive in Xuzhou. Lost.

Huang Mian asked: "Since he wants to kill people, why didn't he kill everyone when he handed over the money, why did he keep it until now?"

"Because he didn't know that the dam would burst at the beginning, and he planned to steal the beam and change the pillar to keep people's eyes covered." Su Cen squinted at Liang Fang, who came to appease the victims who didn't know when, stepped forward a few steps, and said with a smile: " Mr. Liang really loves the people like a son, and he received the news so soon."

Liang Fang turned around and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sighed, "These victims have finally settled down. I'm afraid they will be frightened again after this incident. As their parent officer, I naturally have the responsibility to appease them."

"Master Liang said that," Su Cen smiled softly, "Dare to ask, where did Master Liang go just now?"

"I was taking a nap just now," Liang Fang frowned suddenly, "Are you suspicious of me?"

"Master Liang is too worried, it's just a routine cross-examination," Su Cen said, "Is there anyone to testify?"

Liang Fang's face was already not very good-looking: "I need some witnesses for my lunch break."

"That's right," Su Cen pointed at Huang Mian and said, "This is Huang Mian, the eldest son of Mr. Huang, the servant of the household department. 50 taels of yacha."

Liang Fang snorted coldly: "What does it have to do with me, I have never seen that person before."

"But that person was silenced." Su Cen narrowed his eyes, "May I ask Mr. Liang, do you always have your official seal with you?"

"The official seal is a sign of identity, so I naturally carry it with me!"

"Never lost it?"

Liang Fang hesitated for a moment, and immediately said: "No!"

Su Cen's eyes suddenly sharpened: "However, the document handed over from the official bank has your official seal on it. How can Master Liang explain it?"

"Impossible, it's nonsense!" Liang Fang was furious, "Don't just rely on someone to support you and just point at a deer as a horse. I am a fourth-rank official appointed by the imperial court. If you want to arrest me, please show real evidence!"

Su Cen was not annoyed, and clasped her hands and replied, "Master Liang taught you the lesson."

Liang Fang flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Huang Mian saw that Su Cen's nose was ashamed, and couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "What a temper."

Su Cen rubbed her nose and said with a smile, "Yes."

"Can't you convict him with official seals and documents?"

"Documents can be forged, and official seals may be lost. Without solid evidence, we really can't touch Mr. Liang."

Huang Mian frowned: "What is this person's background?"

Su Cen sighed: "At the beginning, the late emperor was weak and ignored the government for a long time. His relatives and servants colluded with the cholera government and the public. When foreign officials came to Beijing, they didn't pay homage to the emperor. They had to go to the official Cao Gui's mansion to give gifts and post. This is our Liang. His Excellency refused to send him off, but he was dragged to the big prison for a long time, and half his life was lost. On the day he was released from prison, this man dragged his leg and ran to the gate of Cao Gui's mansion, spat, scolded for a long time, and frightened him. So much so that Cao Gui dare not go out, he is being polite to me."

Because Liang Fang was involved in the case, Su Cen deliberately found out about the incident at the beginning, so he knew himself and the enemy well, and won all battles.

Huang Mian asked, "Do you think he is the murderer?"

Su Cen looked at Liang Fang's leaving back, and said softly, "I hope he's not."

Only later did he know that the relative who colluded with Cao Gui was the Empress Dowager Chu's natal brother, and it was after Li Shi returned from the border that he rehabilitated Liang Fang and was transferred to Xuzhou governor.If it wasn't for Li Shi's face, and according to Master Liang's temperament, I'm afraid he would have fought with him long ago. Su Cen also hopes that he is not. Don't hurt the hearts of Xuzhou people, and don't hurt Li Shi's Heart.

Just when Qi Lin came over, Su Cen collected his thoughts and asked, "Is the prince's arrangement done?"

Qi Lin nodded: "Tuduo's three guards are on duty in turn, and not even a fly can fly in."

Su Cen was relieved, there were assassins around him, what he was most worried about was Li Shi's safety, this is not Chang'an City, there is no Xingqing Palace with iron walls, if someone wants to take the opportunity to attack Prince Ning, he is afraid that he will not be able to guard against it.Fortunately, Li Shi took Tuduo Sanwei with him when he traveled, which can be regarded as an added layer of insurance.

Qi Lin asked: "What did you find here?"

Su Cen shook his head: "What the master did, I haven't found any clues yet."

Qi Lin said: "An expert with a sword?"

Seeing Qi Lin coming, Qu Ling'er immediately stepped forward and said, "No, that person was..."

Su Cen raised his hand to interrupt Qu Ling'er, and asked Qi Lin, "What do you say?"

Qi Lin stretched out his hand towards Qu Ling'er's face, but Qu Ling'er thought it was his older brother Qi who wanted to touch him, and immediately put on a shy look of refusal and welcome.

I saw Qi Lin calmly took a leaf from Qu Ling'er's shoulder and brought it to Su Cen.

Qu Linger: "..."

Su Cen took the fresh leaf that was cut in half by a sharp knife, looked at it for a while and asked Qi Lin, "What does this mean?"

"What a fast sword."

"But there are no sword marks around, and there are no sword wounds on the body of the deceased." Qu Ling'er continued, "That means there is another expert with a sword hiding in the dark."

Su Cen asked, "Is it possible that the one who used the sword and the one who murdered are the same person?"

"Brother Su, you don't know that people who practice martial arts are most particular about their skills and specialization. Those who use knives will not practice iron sand palms, and those who practice boxing will not learn archery. Brother Qi used to use knives, but now At most, it is to use a sword instead of re-learning how to catch a sword with bare hands, because this is completely contrary to the martial arts mentality he has learned before." Qu Ling'er pointed at the corpse that was just carried out, "It is obvious that this person just now is Injured by palm force, it cannot be done by a master swordsman."

Qi Lin didn't make a sound, it was a tacit agreement.

Su Cen frowned: "Then who is using the sword? I know that the sword is good, and the one who is involved in this case is the only one."

Qu Ling'er and Huang Mian said in unison: "Song Fan!"

Huang Mian had witnessed Song Fan's skills, and Qu Ling'er had fought against Song Fan directly. When it came to using a sword, the two thought of Song Fan almost without thinking.

Huang Mian thumped his hands and said, "No wonder this man must die. He must have seen that the person who received the official money colluded with Song Fan, so he was murdered to silence him!"

While talking, there was a slight crying sound, Su Cen followed the sound, and saw two heads protruding from the woods, Huzi holding Erya, who was already crying.

Su Cen hurried forward: "What's the matter?"

"We all saw it..." Hu Zi trembled, "We caught it in the woods, we all saw it..."

Su Cen's heart trembled, "What did you see?!"

Hu Zi forced himself to look at Su Cen calmly, his lips trembling, "Someone killed that man together with a big brother who was always smiling!"

The big brother who is always smiling is Song Fan!Su Cen asked anxiously, "Have you seen who it is?"

"That's it..." Huzi pointed behind him with trembling hands, "That adult who stopped us at the foot of the mountain."
